'McMafia' Episode 7 Review: The 8 Questions The Penultimate Instalment Left Us With

We’re hurtling towards the end of BBC’s big budget drama ‘McMafia’, and while we’ve loved every second of it, we have to admit, we’re definitely ready for it to be over.&nbsp;With all the goings-on over the last six episodes, our heads are a bit scrambled, but finally the strands are all coming together in time for next week’s finale.

After eight thrilling - but equally exhausting - weeks, ‘ McMafia ’ reached its climax on Sunday (11 February) night, as Alex and Vadim had one last that isn’ t to say it was perfect, so with that in mind, we picked out four things we loved and four things we weren’ t so crazy about in the final episode

After eight thrilling - but equally exhausting - weeks, ‘McMafia’ reached its climax on Sunday (11 February) night, as Alex and Vadim had one last showdown, which proved to be fatal for one of them.

There was a good amount of closure for those who’d stuck with the BBC mafia drama (even though it often felt like it would have been easier to just give up at some points), delivering what was, in the most part, a satisfying ending.

However, that isn’t to say it was perfect, so with that in mind, we picked out four things we loved and four things we weren’t so crazy about in the final episode...

We’d only had 23 hours to recover from the ‘McMafia’ finale when ITV’s latest thriller ‘Trauma’ kicked off on Monday (12 February) night.&nbsp;Penned by the writer of ‘Doctor Foster’, ‘Trauma’ introduced us to two fathers, Dan Bowker and Jon Allerton, whose lives collided when Dan’s 15 year-old son Alex was stabbed and died in the trauma department, attended by consultant Jon.

Here are eight things we loved , and four that we had issue with. And even if she doesn’ t think she’s capable of being a hero in the end, her sacrifice to protect Matt in the finale seals the deal that regardless of who she was in the past—or who she will become, now that the Hand have their, err

Still, there are definitely a few issues, so we came up with 12 things we love about the show and four that we don’ t . She has a fully realized arc, from estranged best friend to the person Jessica trusts enough to bring with her to the final confrontation with Kilgrave.

DISLIKED: Rebecca not getting a happy ending

Not everyone was as lucky as Lydmilla when it came to matters of the heart, and the closing moments of the show saw Rebecca get rejected after finally deciding to forgive Alex.

While we were very much here for them not getting back together, it would have been nice for her to either cop off with the mysterious Antonio, or find a decent fella to make up for all the crap Alex put her through.

Meghan Trainor left shaken by encounter with The Four contestant

Meghan Trainor was shaken when an eliminated wannabe on hit TV talent show The Four approached her and told her to be more thoughtful when criticising singers. Contestant Jason Warrior was 'unseated' from his spot as one of The Four on an episode that aired in America on Thursday night (01Feb18) and Meghan was visibly stunned as he walked towards the judges' table to confront her for comments she made about him. "I really love you dearly and I respect everything you do, but sometimes you say things to us that hurt us," he said while holding her hand. "Sometimes you say things that are hurtful, but I still love you." He then started to sing Meghan's hit single Like I'm Gonna Lose You as the star and her fellow judges, Diddy and DJ Khaled, looked on awkwardly. Jason was eventually escorted off the stage by security. "It's not cool to come up and approach me, and to call me out in front of everyone," a shaken Meghan told Diddy after her encounter. The rapper agreed, insisting what Warrior did was disrespectful. Meghan has been having a little trouble on the talent show of late - the All About That Bass singer burst into tears when a recent taped TV spat between her and her fellow judges got a little heated - and bolted off the set. Meghan admits things got a little intense and the 24-year-old singer couldn't handle the drama. "I had to get up and leave," she told The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon last month (Jan18). "I got into it with the other panellists (and) it got aggressive. They didn’t let me speak. It was my turn to speak and I cried, so they thought that was my answer I guess.

Here are the six things we loved most and four things we loved least about The Defenders. Technically the show was also firing on all cylinders. And yet, there were some things—things Marvel’s messed up before—that didn ’ t work.

DISLIKED: Alex and Vadim’s underwhelming showdown

e slowed down as Alex and Vadim came face-to-face for the final time. It saw Alex kill him like he was putting a pathetic dog out of its misery, and while we get what producers were trying to do, we were expecting a more spectacular exit for a character that had been so fearful and dangerous during the rest of the series.

LIKED: Ilya betraying Vadim

There was a surprise in store when it was revealed Ilya had never received a cut for all the work he’d done for Vadim, and had stayed loyal to him because he was a friend, rather than because he was earning money from him.

Top Garda official 'didn't see draft of homicide document'

The head of Garda Analytics did not sign off on a report into homicide figures that was presented to the Policing Authority last year. Gurchand Singh twice requested access to the report but did not see it until after it was presented as a completed document in April last year.He told the Oireachtas Justice Committee it was "quite difficult" to sit at a meeting of the Policing Authority while senior officers answered questions on the report.It outlined that a review of homicide statistics had taken place and management was satisfied all cases were properly investigated.

After pressure from the FSB, Ilya finally gave Vadim up to Alex in a bid to protect his own family from his boss’s threats against them. Talk about a shock twist.

DISLIKED: Semiyon’s absence

Having been a huge part of the series, it was confusing why Semiyon was completely left out of the episode.

While his story pretty much wrapped up last week when he sold Alex down the river with Vadim, it would have been interesting to see how Alex would have handled the betrayal if he’d found out about it.

LIKED: Alex getting one over on Antonio

Yes, we know we’ve supported the idea of Antonio getting with Rebecca, but there was something very satisfying about the smug look on his face being wiped clean when Alex set out the new terms of their deal.

We’re calling that payment for keeping us guessing about his real identity for so long.

DISLIKED: Alex’s inability to run fast

The subway chase scenes were some of the most tense in the episode, but did someone forget to tell James Norton he needed to properly run as Alex tried to escape Vadim and his men? It seemed to be more of an amble through the tunnels, rather than a race for his life.

DISKLIKED: Alex turning into a bad guy

We’d spent the entire series hoping Alex was a good man who was just being pushed to do bad things as a result of circumstances he’d found himself in. But after killing Vadim, his final words about Alex having to turn his back on his old life seemed to have come true. And as Rebecca commented earlier in the episode, we felt like we didn’t know who Alex was anymore.
